Opera Mini 4 now finished

After one of the longest beta test programmes I can remember, Opera Mini 4 finally got finished. Head for mini.opera.com on your phone or www.operamini.com on your PC. Highly recommended. Some more details below, but essentially it's a proxy-based web browser that runs under Java but compresses content hugely and thus saves time and money.

Full Web in your palm

When you go to a web page, Opera Mini will show you the overview of the page, then suggest where to begin reading. Opera Mini zooms quickly in on the web page and focuses on the content you want to read.

Sync your online lifestyle

Now you can use Opera Link with Opera Mini 4 to synchronize the Web links on your mobile phone with the Web links on your computer. Simply log in to a My Opera account through your phone to sync your bookmarks, or access them from any other browser by going to a Link Web page.

Define search patterns

Just like in Opera for your computer, now you can create your own Web search from any search field on the Internet using Opera Mini. Simply click on the search field that you want to grab on a Web page and then choose "Create search" within your menu.
